Which is correct for late November, 2010? I don't think it matters, as teams start bunched if they all get on the same train and there is a huge amount of time for them to ESM in Lijiang while waiting for whatever train.

I know one of the Cowboys mentions that the Globetrotters said they had a basketball with them, but really. I suspect the Producers saw the basketball hoop as they were planning TAR18, knew they could get bunching of Teams and were carrying Globetrotter gear for the occasion.

The last time the GTs raced they took a basketball with them. (Their backpacks must be HUGE) I remember an Insider Clip with them talking about using the basketball to do tricks for people in the airport for money.

I wouldn't doubt that WRP might have planned for that contingency, once they realized what the Race course and time frame would look like, and might have suggested to the Trotters to make sure they brought that ball again. How convenient that the wait time was during daylight.

I still cannot get over the fact that Cord and Jet actually took their hats off when they weren't getting wet.

That's a great idea. Teams should use whatever abilities they have in case they need to make some extra money sometimes. I guess they have extra room since all they bring to wear is their trotters gear.
